As shown in a Twitter post, NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX480 and GTX470 graphics cards will be officially launched in March, during the PAX East gaming conference. The two new GPUs will be the first to use NVIDIA’s Fermi architecture. It seems that the company’s new technology will help improve graphics performance and support expansion for various standards, like OpenCL or PhysX.
The GTX480 and the GTX470 graphics cards are expected to provide more shader cores in comparison to the current GTX275 and the GTX285 models. They will also be offering DirectX 11 and OpenGL 3 support.
Despite the fact that NVIDIA has not yet announced any full specifications for the two models, it is already known that the official unveiling will take place on March 26th. The date will coincide with the company’s GeForce LAN event, also taking place at PAX 2010.
